Last summer a lone fisherman, down
by Little Egg Harbor Inlet, caught a
bunch of oysters that his line became
entangled in, in a spot where oysters
were not looked for at all. BY feeling
with his line he ascertained that there
were more, and he concluded that
when oyster season came in, with the
first of October, he would go quietly
down there and may be pick up Il load
of fifteen or twenty bushels. So, when
the time arrived and everybody else
was off to the plant beds, he went to
take advantage of his discovery, and
loaded his boat The next day it
leaked out, and twelve boats were
there; the day following twenty-four
boats were spread over an area of ten
acres, and up to this time over two
thousand bushels of the safest, fat
oysters have been taken from Il spot
where oysters were never caught be-
fore, right in the inlet where the swell
of the ocean rolls in and swings the
boats as they lie at anchor. The crop
of oyster plants this year has been
abundant, more so than for fifteen
wears previous.

BRIDGETON, Oct. gath, 1887.


Editors Of Pioneer
The comrades of A. l.. Robson Post
desire to express publicly their graft
tude for and appreciation of the servi-
ces of the young ladies of the various
schools, who so generously gave their
time and efforts in behalf of the Re
ception Entertainment on Thursday
evening. The beauty and effect of the
historical tableauX were greatly en-
HANGED, andrendered muchmore pleas
ing from the fact that those participate
ing therein were known to the au-
dence. The charming precision of the
Military Drill and the graceful evolu-
tions so skillfully made, proved conclu'
sively to soldiers that those taking part
had submitted cheerfully to those en-
acting, aud sometime irksome require
ments which military discipline neces-
sarily imposes. To these two features
of the programme the success of our
entertainment was largely due, and the
Committee take this opportunity to
acknowledge their great Indebtedness
to the young ladies as we'll as to their
parents and teachers who SO nobly
seconded their purely gratuitous labor.
BY order Of the
ENTERTAINMENT COMMITTEE.

school Work.

Mr.. Geo Writer'S host of friends and
relatives in this city Will be pleased to
read the following taken from the
Lincoln Co, Advocate published at
Merrill: The school work of the city is
being drawn into shape rapidly and
Systematically and is undergoing some
favorable changes with regard to grad
ing and classification. We have ex-
amined the work of the principal, Mr.
Witter, and find his monthly reports to
the school board to be very complete,
including valuable and necessary
information in regard to all the depart
ments. Besides these reports be has
drawn up diagram of each department
from which at a glance, one can ascer-
tain the standing of every pupil in the
city in every branch of study pursued,
the grade of work the pupil is doing
and the department and ward in which
he or she is attending.
Mr.. Witter seems to be doing good
work among our schools.

Grand Rapids and Centralfa.

The editor of the Green Bay Advocate
in his last issue speaks as follows of the
twin cities:
1t was my good pleasure to visit
Grand Rapids, Wisconsin, but a short
time since. where found our old towns
man Mr.. Hoskinson engaged in the
Pioneer Pulp mill and everything looks
fourishing and prosperous in and about
this mammoth concern, as well as in all
the pulp mills on both sides of the river.
While Centralia and Grand Rapids are
united, / am told in generous effort
for the advancement of the twin cities
interest, with a very few exceptions.
The feeling ofharmOny existing between
the two towns argurs well for their
success. These beautiful cities located
near the geographical center of this
great state of Wisconsin and in time are
bound to be point of no little import
ance, for who ever heard of q city so
centrally located, with such wonderful
water power, and hard wood timber SO
near its border that did not in time
become great manufacturing center.
So | say that these two cities may
reasonably hope to become an import
ant commercial center as Grand Rapids.
This people have appeared to think in
times past, however, that they had the
location and that was all that was
necessary, but as time rolled along they
appear to realize that instinct alone
don't tell men where to GO and some of
their best men have taken pains to offer
extra inducements to moneyed men
east to invest in some of their valuable
water powers.
examined their fire clay and found
it to be the best i ever saw, and it
appears to be in an inexhaustible
quantity. A few thousand dollars of
capital invested in manufacture of fire
clay here would pay back a wonderful
revenue for the money invested.
They are blessed with schools and
churches and society of very high
order The new high school is an
accredited school and has good record
and speaks volumes for the place.
The principal business houses called
upon all busy without exception and
report trade to be largely in excess of
former years. While there are plenty
of business houses here there is not a
single branch overdone. For thrifty
artizan with small capital here is a
good opportunity for paying invest
ment.
Young men of brains and energy are
the class of people wanted here, and
here is where that kind of people have
wide field for the employment and
fuller development of their business
ability, energy and capital. Not fifteen
miles west of these fourishing cities,
recent investigations have developed an
iron interest that promises to be no
small affair and as rich as it is big. /
predict some great development in that
iron range not long hence which will
infuse new life to their industries New
foundries and manufactures will soon
bewanted, more pulp mills and paper
are demanded. Let the capitalist look
the field over and he will be amazed at
the chances here presented.

Cranbe rry Oatlook

Mr.. j. Searls, of Elm Lake, was a
caller at this Office Saturday last. He
reports the Cranberry vines looking
splendid. They promise big yield.
We take the following from the Tomah
Journal about the needs of Wisconsin
cranberry growers
"What we want are not books or per-
lodicals that tell us and everybody how
and where and at what. big profit
cranberries can be grown, as we can
now, without books, if drouth and frosts
let us alone, raise more cranberries
than you wish to buy. The year 1885
bears evidence in this ease. But if the
state realizes benefit from this indus
try, which no doubt it does, for perhaps
nlne-tenths of our crop is sent out of
the state and comes back in money,
then it would be nothing but fair if the
state would give us the privilege of
using the waters of creeks and rivers
for cranberry irrigation We do not
ask as much as Louisiana planters do,
along the Mississippi river, we are will
ling to build our own dams, canals and
reservoirs. We would next demand
that each commissioner in this state be
placed under bonds in any sum from a
thousand dollars upward, prohibiting
him to enter into any commission tram
sactions exceeding his bond, and force
him to place in figures the amount of
his bond on his circulars and cards of
advertisements. A regular report of
frost and storm warnings would assist
us very much. Of the health commits
sioners of towns and cities we would
desire that they inspect the fruits, in
Guiding cranberries, offered for sale or
stored for such purpose; examine them
occasionally and, if found unsound,
have them condemned and thrown
away. That would make an end of
early picking in the month of August
when the berries are not ripe, and it
| would end the career of cranberry
| thieves, who steal the berries before
the owner gets ready orsees fit to pick. -
